Digicel Guyana and the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GT&T) Company yesterday inked the long-awaited interconnection agreement to enable cross-network mobile texting in Guyana.
Customers of each network will from June 1, 2009, for the first time, be able to text customers of the other network.
The move came the same day there was supposed to have been a public hearing before the Public Utilities Commission on the same issue.
The testing phase of the interconnection was completed ever since May last year but the two companies could not agree on the contract.
The document has been back and forth for some time now with their respective legal teams and technical personnel trying to find middle ground.
The agreement was quietly inked yesterday as Digicel officials placed the necessary signatures before sending the document over to GT&T for that company’s official signature.
Short Message Service (SMS) is a communication service standardized in the GSM mobile communication system, using standardized communications protocols allowing the interchange of short text messages between mobile telephone devices.
SMS text messaging is the most widely used data application on the planet, with 2.4 billion active users, or 74 per cent of all mobile phone subscribers sending and receiving text messages on their phones.
